1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Azacitidine, an inhibitor of DNA methylation, shows therapeutic effects against several malignancies by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. However, the anti-tumor effects of azacitidine on urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma (UBUC), especially following intravesical instillation (IVI), are not established. Here, UBUC cell lines were used to analyze the in vitro therapeutic effects of azacitidine. Potential signaling pathways were investigated by antibody arrays and Western blotting. The N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN)-induced rat UBUC model was used for in vivo quantitative analysis of tumor burden. Azacitidine significantly inhibited DNMT expression in UBUC cell lines and reduced cell viability and clonogenic activity, as determined by MTT and colony formation assays, while also inducing significant cytotoxic effects in the form of increased sub-G1 and Annexin V-PI populations (all
